Good to know.

I opened System Pref Security and change the preference from Mac App Store and identified developers to - Anywhere.

This allowed the downloaded Cuda drivers to run. I thought the annoying block was Apple sandboxing.

Once I installed the updated drivers, the video ran in PremPro (CS) with GPU hardware selected for the project.

Here is a link to a helpful tutorial on Vidmuze that I used on setting up the Nvidia cards on a new 15" MacBook Pro.

There's a System Pref for Security in 10.8 that you many need to train or toggle to accept installs from nVidia. Hard to believe nVidia isn't on the list of trusted sites.

There's a 10.8.2 update.

No video only audio. The waveform monitor on the reference screen 'sees' the video levels as I scrub through the sequence.
Switch the project to software mercury enabled and the video and audio plays.

Ran GPU snifer and added the Nvidia GEForce GT 650M to the list in terminal.

Tried to install updated CUDA Drivers from Nvidia site but I get blocked with -

"CUDADriver.pkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
Your security preference allow instillation of only apps from Mac App Store and identified developers.

How do I get around this?

You have to been in GPU/Hardware mode for it to work. But I’ve tested this at theater screen sizes and it is superior. However, some plugs get very close.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will run a test with the Reduce Interlace Flicker and with the 1 pixel Box Blur.

I did test runs yesterday in rescaling the HD - SD in Premier Pro CS6 to compare and AE had slightly better results with the clips.

You could also try Reduce Interlace Flicker with about a 0.4

Hello all,

I remember some discussions of adding a 2 pixel vertical blur to reduce aliasing in SD video. Any recommended choice of blurs? Fast blur, Gaussian any other favorite filters?
I am using AE to scale 1 minute PSA spots from HD (1920x1080i ProRes QT) to letter box NTSC (720x 486 QT ProRes).
AE CS6 delivers good quality results. There is occasional NTSC aliasing along diagonal lines in the video. It was suggested to try adding a slight blur to improve the end results.
